It would be a mistake in this particular case. There's getElementsByName and form.elements to look for named elements. Defining IE's behaviour in a spec wouldn't do any developer a favour. It is nonsensical and needs to be fixed. Sites that rely on it (I wonder if they really exist) are already broken in other browsers. --Dao
